Chanu said that the first thing she would love to do is visit her family. Among other things, she also mentioned that she would love to eat pizza after being on a strict diet for months. “I would like to have a party but the Village rules are very strict," she said. "Maybe I can have a pizza.”
A Twitter user, probably after knowing about Mirabai Chanu’s love for pizza, replied on a post by Domino’s, that they shared to congratulate the athlete, and urged the pizza chain to deliver the dish to Mirabai Chanu after she returns home. The Twitter user also added that they will pay for the dish. In reply, the pizza chain shared that they would be offering the athlete free pizza for life.
